Brother date ((RP))

[serica_aru]

He looked at the text message he received: "Hey BRO wanna go out on a date? loljk I'll come over around 5 to pick u up!"

Aside from the horrible grammar, why did he call it a "date"?

He sighed as he buttoned up his shirt and waited for his brother to come knocking. Well, it couldn't be all that bad, he hadn't seen his brothers in a while.

What had he been thinking, calling it a date? He really HAD just been joking, but now he was kind of nervous...Why was he nervous? He just wanted to eat out somewhere with Yao, that was all...

'Jenjang, Ren...Relax. You're only nervous because you're trying to bring everyone back together. That's all. That's all it is.'

He took a deep breath, tried to smooth back his stupid curl, which didn't work, and straightened his long-sleeved t-shirt, the ends of said sleeves hanging past his thumbs. Just the way he liked them. He tugged back the right sleeve to check his watch. Five o'clock. Right on time.

He shook his sleeve back down, and raised his hand to knock, butterflies suddenly roaring to life in his stomach. Ah well...Now or never. His fist hitting the door as he knocked resounded through the hallway and startled him, but he kept his composure as he waited for the door to open.

Yao opened the door.

"Are you ready then? Where are we going?" he asked. He absentmindedly played with the tip of his ponytail, twisting it around his fingers.

[renyongsoo]

"Uhh. Hey Yao!" Ren plastered his trademark grin across his face to hide his nervousness. "There's an Asian restaurant on the island that I'd like to try, if you don't mind. They say that they combine all the best cooking of all the Asian countries onto one menu, isn't that awesome?" He asked, hooking his arm with Yao's and dragging him out of his dorm room, making sure to shut the door behind them. "It's not even that far! We could walk if you want to!"

[serica_aru]

"That'd be great!" he said as he followed his brother out. To be honest, he hadn't gone very far on the island, so to him this would be a new experience.

"It's not like Panda Express is it?" he said with a sour look.

[renyongsoo]

"Nah, not from what I've heard!" Ren said, grinning and leading the way out of the resident hall and towards town. "Besides, would I take you out on a date to somewhere like Panda Express?" He asked. "Only the best for you, huh? I mean, you work so hard at school and everything, I figured you could use a break, and what better way to give you a chance to take a break than taking you out for good food?" He asked.

As they neared the restaurant, Ren grinned. "This is it!" he said proudly, taking Yao by the hand and leading him inside to be seated at a table.

[serica_aru]

"Erm, thanks for taking me here, I really appreciate it." he said as he looked around the restaurant. It was decorated with all sorts of Asian curios, but not going overboard. A large ink painting of some Red-crowned Cranes on one wall, an imitation Ming Dynasty vase holding bamboo in the corner...

And then he realized he was holding hands. He quickly tried withdrawing his hand before anyone could notice.

He took a deep breath. Everything smelled so good!

[renyongsoo]

Ren looked down at his now empty hand, an ache slowly starting to form in his chest. But why? That didn't make sense...did it?

He shook his head and pushed the ache away, ignoring it, like he usually did, and took a seat opposite Yao in their booth.

"So, do you know what you might order?" He asked, picking up the menu and looking through it. Honestly, Ren knew what he wanted, but he had to make sure they served it, first.

[serica_aru]

"Oh, I want to try this!" Yao said as he pointed. "It's been so long since I ate it. But I do want some green tea if you don't mind?"

He leaned in close, and tried to see what Ren was looking at.

[renyongsoo]

Ren smiled as he glanced at what Yao was pointing to. Yao's excitement over what he was ordering was catching, and Ren leaned in, too, to show him what he was looking at.

"Since it's my treat, you can have whatever you want." He said, grinning. The grin faded just a bit when he caught a whiff of Yao's scent and his head started reeling. That was...pleasant. His face flushed just a tint of pink and he cleared his throat.

"I'm ordering Kimchi, of course." He said quietly. "I want to see what kind they have here, since there are so many different ones you can make."

[serica_aru]

"Oh, I didn't know that. I thought kimchi was just the vegetable aru." he said as he looked over the menu. His eye caught the beef bulgogi, as well as the flush from Ren's face.

"Can I get that?" he asked quietly as he pointed. He noticed the sweet, masculine smell of cologne coming from Ren. He liked it, and lingered a bit longer.

[renyongsoo]

"Oh no, no, no...Kimchi is prepared so many different ways and isn't a vegetable, but prepared with a lot of different vegetables." Ren explained, momentarily forgetting the faint blush had just tinged his face.

"Depending on the region and the season will depend on how it's prepared, too. There are so many different ways you can make it, and I haven't found a Kimchi I haven't liked." His face was beaming, until he realized how close Yao was leaning in, and his eye traveled to where he was pointing.

"Of course." He said, his voice growing softer, and a little un-Ren-like, as he was usually loud and boisterous. "Like I said, you can get what ever you want." Ren's eyes traveled back up to catch a glimpse of Yao's face and he suddenly realized that he found Yao to be very...beautiful...

He didn't say it, but he couldn't keep himself from staring.

[serica_aru]

(Holyyyyy shiii- I am sorry for the late reply)

They placed their orders and waited patiently.

"We can have a taste of each others' if you like?"

A short while later, the food came, sizzling hot and spitting. Yao's stomach growled when he smelled the sweet scent of beef.
